This detailed guide aims to provide estheticians with the knowledge and techniques required to deliver a safe, comfortable, and effective Manzilian waxing experience.
Preparing for the Manzilian Wax

b. Gather all necessary supplies, including waxing equipment, disposable gloves, disposable spatulas, pre-wax cleanser, waxing strips, soothing post-wax products, and a drape.
Assessing Hair Length and Trimming
a. Check the hair length to ensure it’s suitable for waxing (around 1/4 inch or 6mm is ideal).
b. If necessary, trim longer hairs with sanitized scissors to the appropriate length.
Preparing the Skin
a. Cleanse intimate area with a gentle, antiseptic pre-wax cleanser.
b. Apply a thin layer of pre-wax oil to create a barrier between the skin and wax.
Wax Selection and Application
a. Choose a high-quality, soft or Hard wax suitable for sensitive areas.
b. Heat the wax to the manufacturer’s recommended temperature.
c. Apply the wax in small sections, following the direction of hair growth.
d. Press a waxing strip firmly onto the wax and allow it to adhere.
Wax Removal
a. Hold the skin taut with one hand and use the other to remove the strip swiftly in the opposite direction of hair growth.
b. breathe and relax during the process to minimize discomfort.
Repeated Application and Removal
a. Continue applying and removing wax in manageable sections until you’ve covered the entire area to be waxed.
b. Be thorough but cautious not to over-wax sensitive areas.
Chocolate Wax
Chocolate wax is tender on the skin and known as one of the least painful types of wax. It's hydrating and full of soothing and nourishing ingredients like almond oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, glycerin, vitamin E, and other minerals. Cocoa itself is rich in antioxidants and acts as an emollient in the wax. The almond oil gives it anti-inflammatory properties—a benefit much appreciated while having hairs ripped out from their follicles.
Almond oil is a hydrator that is rich in vitamin D, vitamin E, and various minerals. It helps soothe the skin from irritation and protect it from UV radiation damage.
Chocolate wax can be soft or hard, but it's always applied warm. It has a low melting point so it's unlikely to cause burns. The luxurious experience comes with a price tag to match but for many, the glowing skin and spa-like indulgence is more than worth it.
- Hard wax is a strip-free wax that is effective in picking up both thick and fine, thin hair and is best used for smaller, more sensitive areas like the lip, nose, underarms, and bikini area.
- Warm soft wax requires the use of cloth strips and is often used to cover larger areas like the legs and arms.
- Cold, soft wax and pre-made wax strips are the most accessible and user-friendly options for at-home use, while sugaring, fruit and chocolate waxes provide the benefit of natural ingredients.

Cold Soft Wax
What's nice about this type of wax is that you avoid the risk of burning your skin, which is a potential downside to using hard wax. With that said, it can be trickier to apply an even layer and, since it also adheres to the skin, can cause irritation if you go over the same area more than once.
Pre-made wax strips come with the right amount of cold soft wax already attached and are ready to use—no heating required. This method is the most user-friendly and mess-free option, and it's great for beginners as there’s no chance of putting on too much product.
Although it's not required, it's recommended that wax strips be slightly ‘heated’ up a bit by rubbing them between your palms, which allows them to stick more to the hair. This step may also be necessary for separating the wax strips from one another.
Cold strips require the least preparation and with fewer moving parts of the whole operation, this is by far the most convenient option for traveling. As with any cold wax, there is no risk of burning your skin. Shays suggests using pre-made strips for smaller areas because they aren't spreadable like warm wax.
What Happens if You Get Aroused During Your Treatment?
It’s a common concern, and rest assured, it’s not something to feel embarrassed about. In fact, it’s a situation estheticians encounter from time to time. Here’s what you can expect if it happens during your treatment:
- No Need for Embarrassment: First and foremost, don’t be embarrassed. It’s a natural response and happens more often than you might think.
- Potential Benefits: Interestingly, a momentary arousal can actually help make your skin taut, which can result in a smoother and more effective waxing experience.
- Professional Environment: It’s crucial to remember that the esthetician is a trained professional working in a clinical environment. They are there to provide a service, and their focus is on the treatment itself.
- Respectful Conduct: While it’s perfectly normal, it’s essential to maintain respectful conduct during the session. If an esthetician perceives any misunderstanding or inappropriate behavior that deviates from the professional nature of the service, they may exercise the right to refuse service.
- Relax and Breathe: To ensure the best waxing experience, try to relax and avoid clenching your body. This helps the esthetician perform the treatment more effectively, and any potential momentary arousal is not a cause for concern.
In essence, if you find yourself in this situation, remember that professionals in the industry are well-trained to handle it discreetly and maintain a respectful, professional environment throughout the entire treatment. Your comfort and satisfaction are their top priorities. Just take a deep breath, relax, and trust in their expertise to provide you with a successful waxing experience.
